Noun:

लिथो,

lithos's Usage Examples:

These small alkalic volcanoes are small percent melts of asthenosphere that exploit bending-related lithospheric faults to reach the seafloor.

These processes further thin the lithosphere in saturated areas, making the thinning lithosphere behave like a mid-ocean ridge.

Earth science generally recognizes four spheres, the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere as correspondent to rocks, water,.

Systems are unrelated to lithostratigraphy, which subdivides rock layers on their lithology.

Oceanic trenches are a distinctive morphological feature of convergent plate boundaries, along which lithospheric plates move towards each other.

The subsiding lithosphere is balanced out and through the concept of isostasy a part of the crust surrounding the trough is levered upwards creating.

terrestrial planets should experience plate tectonics due to thinner, weaker lithospheres and higher stresses.

cycles, processes and "spheres"—atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, pedosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and even the magnetosphere—as well.

Isostasy (Greek ísos "equal", stásis "standstill") or isostatic equilibrium is the state of gravitational equilibrium between Earth"s crust (or lithosphere).

A batholith (from Greek bathos, depth + lithos, rock) is a large mass of intrusive igneous rock (also called plutonic rock), larger than 100 square kilometres.

an area where the crust of the over-riding plate is lacking a rigid lithospheric mantle component and thus is exposed to hot asthenospheric mantle (for.

pieces of Earth"s crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere.

The lithospheric flexure (also called regional isostasy) is the process by which the lithosphere (rigid outer layer of the Earth) bends under the action.
